Academy
Our
academy training sessions will continue this Saturday morning for players
between under 6 and under 9 at the club grounds between 10.30 and 11.30.
Under 11
It was a busy couple of
days for the Under 11 age group. On Wednesday last we went to Lismore for a
mini hurling blitz where we took on Lismore first. In an entertaining game we
shared the spoils. Straight into our next match against Midleton and the boys
built on the first game and won well at the end. On Friday night we went back
to football for our latest Town & Country game when Gaultier visited the
Burgery. After an even enough first half the eastern side proved too strong for
our lads and won comfortably at the finish. Next up is the Nire in a couple of
weeks. Football training continues
Friday nights at 6pm till 7pm.
Under 14
The Under 14 hurling team continue to train every
Tuesday and Thursday night at the club grounds.
All in the juvenile club would also like to wish
Colin Foley and Alex Norris the very best of luck as they represent the club
and their county in the Tony Forristal and Sonny Walsh competitions in
Waterford this weekend. This is a marvellous achievement for both players and
hopefully they will have a weekend that they will never forget.
Under 10
It was also a busy week for our Under 10 team. On
Monday night of last week they took on St Olivers and on Saturday last they
took on Ballybacon Grange who were coached by ex Tipperary goalie Brendan
Cummins. The lads really enjoyed both matches, and as I said earlier in the
year in this page, are improving with every outing. They were also due to play
Fourmilewater last night (Tuesday). At the time of going to print the result of
this match was not available but will be included in next week’s notes.
Under 13
Our Under 13 hurling team had a very good win
against Lismore in the last week and are now into a semi final of the western
championship which will be played on September 3rd.
Minor
Our minor hurling team played the latest round of
their championship on Thursday night last against Lismore. On the evening that was ideal for hurling it
was the Lismore team that upped their game in the second half to come out on
top on a score line of 2-20 to 3-08. Next match here for the lads is against
Portlaw/Ballyduff on the 22nd August.
Under 16
After a poor display in their last match against
Roanmore our Under16 team came into their latest game in their championship
needing a moral boosting win. On the night it was De Le Salle who provided the
opposition. Our lads were much sharper and hungry than they were in previous
games putting in their best display so far and thus coming away with victory on
the night on a score line of 0-20 to 2-10. Well done to all involved.
